He probably started 4 days out. Anyway, how did you like your 1st trip to the AUD?

Besides the Bowdoin loss and losing an hour on the way back to civilization it was fun. The Utica Sports Information director was great.

You mean the BU alum who has 30 years of coaching experience and was just called a "legend" by Utica coach Gary Heenan yesterday?

The first period was mostly ugly for both teams except Bowdoin's first goal which was a beauty. It looked like everyone was adjusting to the bad ice. As for that first goal, you won't see a better finish at this level of hockey. The second goal was the result of a pretty drop-and-drive and good hard shot. In terms of quality, the period was roughly a draw though Bowdoin deserved its slight edge for finishing. In the second period Bowdoin did everything but score. It was one of the best periods I've seen any Bowdoin team play, thoroughly outplaying a good team on the road in the NCAA tournament, I was so fired up I had to leave my seat and watch from the aisle. But of course, Utica got the period's only goal (a well-executed odd-man rush and nice snap shot; Utica has a couple forwards with good snap shots). After that, credit to Utica for a strong third, they seized the momentum and earned the win. Both the second and third periods were Division III hockey at its best. Fun atmosphere in the Aud. Everyone (including the refs) battled through the bad ice and gave us a memorable game. Thanks to the students and staff who broadcast Bowdoin's home games online this season, their excellent work enabled those of us far from Brunswick to enjoy the ride. Congrats to the seniors on one of the best runs (maybe the best run) in program history.
